How did Nahmanides propose to resolve the Maimonidean Controversy?

Abstract

The permissibility of pursuing 'external wisdom' became a major motif in the intellectual history of the Jews during the Middle Ages, and in the 1230s it exploded into the greatest controversy that had ever shaken European Jewry, cutting across the three major cultural centers of northern Europe, southern France, and Iberia. Concerned by allegorization of Scripture and other manifestations of philosophical radicalism, R. Solomon b. Abraham of Montpellier dispatched his distinguished student R. Jonah Gerondi to northern France with copies of Maimonides' Guide of the Perplexed and Sefer ha-Madda' so that he might alert the northern rabbis to the sort of works that had been used and misused by the radical allegorizers.
